Blueberry Angel Food Cake Ingredients

Substitutions and Additions

Pie Filling: Instead of blueberry pie filling, you could choose from so many other great flavors of fruit filling. Try raspberry, cherry, or even lemon. How about trying apple pie filling in the fall? Or try our Strawberry Angel Food Cake! 

Lemon: Lemon and blueberry is such a delightful combination. You could add little hints of lemon throughout this dessert for a yummy lemon blueberry version. Use lemon pudding in place of the vanilla pudding. Or how about adding a little bit of lemon juice or lemon zest to the cake batter? 

Cake: You could swap out the plain angel food cake for pound cake, chocolate cake, vanilla sponge cake, or even brownies. You can even make homemade angel food cake if you have a tried and true recipe you prefer. 

Pudding: If you are changing up the filling or cake, you could also pick a different pudding flavor. The sky’s the limit with this cake!

Cool Whip: If you prefer homemade whipped cream, it would work fine in place of the Cool Whip.

Sour Cream: If you prefer, you could also substitute plain greek yogurt for the sour cream in this recipe.

Alcohol: If you are serving this cake to adults, you could soak the cake cubes in sherry or wine first for a grown-up version.

How to Make This Blueberry Angel Food Cake Recipe

STEP ONE: Cut the cooled angel food cake into cubes about 1 inch in size.

PRO TIP: If you are baking the cake yourself for this recipe, make sure to let it cool fully before cutting it so that it doesn’t make the other ingredients too warm. The best knife to use when cutting angel food cake is one with a serrated blade, it will cut the cake easier, and you won’t lose the airy, fluffy texture of the cake.

STEP TWO: Layer half of the cake pieces evenly on the bottom of a 9×9 cake pan (metal or glass).

PRO TIP: If you have a trifle bowl and are serving this at a potluck, the trifle bowl would show the fancy layers of this dessert even better.

STEP THREE: Spread 2/3 of the blueberry pie filling evenly over the cake.

STEP FOUR: Layer the last half of the cake cubes over the blueberry pie filling.

STEP FIVE: In a medium bowl stir together the pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until smooth (about 2 minutes). Spread evenly over the top of the cake.

STEP SIX: Spread the Cool Whip evenly over top of the pudding layer. Drop and spread the rest of the blueberry pie filling over the top.

STEP SEVEN: Place in the fridge and let chill for 4 to 5 hours before serving.

PRO TIP: This cake needs at least 4 to 5 hours in the fridge so it can soak up all of the flavors. Overnight is even better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze this recipe? 

We don’t recommend freezing this delicious dessert as the consistency would change upon thawing. Since it takes such little time to whip up, plan to make it from scratch right before you are ready to use it. 

Can I make this delicious recipe ahead of time? 

This heavenly blueberry angel food cake dessert needs to sit in the fridge for several hours to soak in all the yummy flavors, so it is best to make it the day before serving.

Can I change the flavor of the pie filling? 

The blueberries are delicious, but you could switch them out for any flavor of pie filling you’d like. Lemon, strawberry, raspberry, and cherry would all be delicious!

When I’m baking angel food cake, how do I know when it is done? 

You’ll know your angel food cake is done when a toothpick or butter knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Make sure you read the directions on the boxed cake to determine the accurate baking time when you are using an angel food cake pan for your cake.
